    Anyone have experience with this company, I wanna purchase a 2" front spacer (as oppose to a 2.75") from them made out of carbon steel in order to level my truck out (you actually need 1.5" to level the truck exactly, but I am hoping that 2" won't sag the rear at all).

    My biggest fear is having a saggy ass end, achieving the "Carolina lean" look which I absolutely despise. At the same time, I don't want the full blown lift, as I presonally think it will make my tires looks too small.

    Whatcha guys think, I am just gonna hold on to the Readylift till it's time to get new (bigger) tires, or sell it outright (it IS for sale)

    Yes it will make the back end look like its dragging. I had a 5 lugger a couple of years ago and wanted to bring the front up a bit. I just decided to get a fat bobs kit. It was like $250, I think. Anyways. I put the front spacers on first to see if it leveled it out and the 2.75 inches made a highly noticeable difference. I wish I had a picture to show. I'm sure it didn't look as bad as I thought it did but I felt like the rear bumper would be dragging on the ground. Well I put the add-a-leaf and new shocks in the back and it leveled it out really well. It came out exactly how I wanted it. The back doesn't come up as much as the front so it leaves the bed line pretty much horizontal.

    The one thing I will add, you should probably get some larger tires to fill the gap. I had 16" wheels so I got some 245 65 or 245 70, something like that. They looked awesome and didn't rub like 265s do

    That's what I'd suggest you do if you want to level it out

    Sorry for the delay but he made the spacer by cutting down the 2.75" spacer
